(7) PUBLICITY SEEKER got pounded at the windows last week, but he got stuck inside too long. He could be more aggressive returning to a 7-day cycle tonight and he gets the nod. (5) STORM TROTTER jogged at this level close to three weeks ago and McClure chose him over the choice. He should be the main danger tonight. (6) SHESTHELUCKYONE fits better at this level, and she is a threat leaving from the best post. (4) SHES BEER LEAGUE should sit another good trip racing near the front and land in the Tri.

Race 2: NW $14,300 L5

(5) ONEY HALL lays over this field and they will likely be at his mercy if he stays flat. (1) MEADOWBRANCH NOBLE, who couldn't chase down a tough leader last week, probably sits and rallies late this time. (7) TOKYO SEELSTER fired a 27 2/5 kicker and he was still a distant 3rd because the winner was so good. He is in the exotics mix here. (2) MACALLAN rarely misses the top 4 and he should be part of the Super here.

Race 3: Horses that have started for a purse of $7,500 or less in 1 of L4

(2) NUZZLE LOADER took a new lifetime mark beating similar last week and he gets the call to repeat here. Sharp (7) CURIOUS CORTEZ shoots for his third win in a week here and he is in with a decent chance racing on or near the front. (1) P L JACKSON should improve at this level. He is in the exotics mix. (6) GOOD AND SWEET draws best making this second start back and he is another that can take a share.

Race 4: CLM HDCP $22,000 to $30,000 - Pick 4

(5) A BOY NAMED SUUZZ passed them all last week now he draws better. He should prove hard to hold off. (9) LEGAL BETTOR is right there every week at this level, and he keeps getting claimed. He is capable of overcoming the wide draw; using. (2) FROWNIES MIRACLE dominated easier for a barn that has won with 4 of their last 8 starters at this track. He is worth a look at what should be another good price as he faces tougher now. (3) FLASHY DUDE had tough trips in both local starts now he drops in for a tag. He is worth using underneath.

Race 5: CLM HDCP $11,000 to $14,000

(10) MACHAL JORDAN looked a winner every step last week and the veteran gets the call to repeat despite drawing widest. (6) MISTER GODRO was produced late in that mile, but he couldn’t get to the choice. Difference in post positions gives him a chance tonight. (7) JIM STRIKESITRICH should close for a share if he stays flat tonight. (1) ASSASSINS CREED dropped and jogged as expected now he moves back up and he likely closes for a slice tonight.

Race 6: NW $9,000 L5 AE: NW $1,930 L3 - Pick 5

(5) ITSTIMETOGOHOME made an uncharacteristic break last week now he drops and Macdonald sticks. I'll give him the nod over the other dropper (1) RUN DIRECTOR, who takes a multi-level plunge, but has missed four weeks. (3) ROWLEN is another dropper that is in with a shot here and Young will probably put him into the race early. (6) PHOENIX should close late to take another share here.

Race 7: CLM HDCP $15,000 to $20,000

(9) CHOREOGRAPHER passed to get up for the win last week which isn't a trait he is known for, and he gets the call to repeat off that sharp effort. (4) ROYAL RENEGADE cut some wild fractions and still almost held off the choice. He is sharp and dangerous. (8) COIN FLIP can rebound here racing for the hot Waxman barn off the claim; using. (7) PROBERTS LEGACY tried the front last week and he got cooked early. He will likely sit back and rally this time; using underneath.

Race 8: Horses that have started for a purse of $15K or less in 1 of L5 - Pick 4

(8) OKEANOS comes off a measured win that was his third in a row for his new barn and he can take another here. (5) MUSCLE FASHION is hitting his best stride and he should be the main threat here likely racing closer to the front tonight. (3) ARRAKIS won at this level two starts back and he is another in with a shot, but I prefer to use him underneath. (2) KAMERAN HANOVER should be part of the exotics at this level.

Race 9: PREFERRED 2

(1) LOOKS LIKE MONI has been money for several weeks in a row and he is the one to beat in this short field. (2) SHADRACK HANOVER looked terrific dominating easier last week and he should be a good price on the class rise here; using. (6) WARRIOR ONE comes off a sharp win but faces tougher now. I'll play to beat him. (5) RITSON is always around the money, and he is hard to leave off Tri and Super tickets.

Race 10: Claiming $7,000

(2) POINTTO SWEET LOU raced okay when claimed by Auciello and he had missed close to three weeks then. Returning to a seven-day cycle, he gets top billing here. (8) DO YOU SEE IT made a bold late move on Thursday night here and he missed by the slimmest of margins to a class dropper. He is in with a good chance here. (4) R BAZINGGA will likely show speed and stick around for another share. (5) RYE N CLYNE is in solid form, and he can take a share here.

Race 11: NW $1,700 L3

(5) ST LADS CASH drops and he was winning in 1:51 3/5 seven starts back at this track which falls off his program page tonight; value play. (9) FABRIZIO N drops the lowest he can go in the conditioned ranks, and he might bottom this field out, but he is hard for me to take at a short price considering his recent form. (6) BIG ACE draws much better here which could make all the difference; using. (2) HARRY G comes off a good effort and he can close for another share here. (1) GOLDINTHEBADLANDS can sit a trip and land in the bottom of the Super again.
